“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.” 

― Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy

Fine illustrated edition of Dante’s Inferno published by Cassell.

Dante’s “Divine Comedy” is one of the most important and long-lasting works for literature. This rare English edition, translated by H.F. Cary, is Cary’s most famous and important work. In 1814, Cary published his translation on his own, as publishers would not take on the risk. This undated edition is quite rare and is illustrated with 76 Gustave Dore illustrations!
